At this size, Sunset can be even more challenging than on the giant, life-threatening days, and a 30-minute heat can dissolve faster than salt in water.&lt;\\/p&gt;\\n&lt;p&gt;Early casualties were claimed by the shifty lineup; surfers who found themselves short on a back-up ride and out of time: Dane Reynolds (USA); Aritz Aranburu (EUK); and Stu Kennedy (AUS) were among them.&lt;\\/p&gt;\\n&lt;p&gt;It\\u2019s the kind of day that lends itself to local knowledge and a long history with the break. Among those who fit that bill were Sunset local Pancho Sullivan \\u2013 the day\\u2019s high scorer with 15.5 points; Australians Tom Whitaker and Nathan Hedge; and Maui\\u2019s Ian Walsh and Ian Gentil. \\u201cYou\\u2019ve got to approach Sunset everyday for what it is,\\u201d says Ian Walsh, 29. \\u201cYou can\\u2019t really plan too much ahead\\u2026 even right before your heat you\\u2019ve got to make an adjustment, adapt to every little thing, you can\\u2019t really premeditate everything.\\u201d&lt;\\/p&gt;\\n&lt;p&gt;Despite having dashed his hopes at a Triple Crown win back at the Reef Hawaiian Pro, Walsh says he\\u2019s here to win and to keep climbing the ladder that will hopefully lead to a Vans Triple Crown title one day. \\u201cThe Triple Crown is obviously one of the goals that are looming up here above me that I\\u2019ve been looking at for years and I had kind of a rough start at Haleiwa, but I think it\\u2019s still something that I have a lot of respect for. The winner that comes out ahead on all three of these events is someone we all know deserves it.\\u201d&lt;\\/p&gt;\\n&lt;p&gt;Nathan Hedge (AUS), on a comeback and looking for valuable seed points for 2013, reveled in the conditions today. \\u201cI really love Sunset Beach, it\\u2019s always the last event on the (qualifying tour) so it\\u2019s a lot of high drama and emotions and ratings points at stake so it always creates for an epic environment.&lt;\\/p&gt;\\n&lt;p&gt;\\u201cI\\u2019ve been coming here for 20 years, so I think that will help. I\\u2019ve put a lot of time in out here and I have had heats where I\\u2019ve needed to get through to qualify but I\\u2019m not in that sort of situation (now), so I can just really relax and enjoy the experience\\u2026 just go for it.\\u201d&lt;\\/p&gt;\\n&lt;p&gt;The last word on the day came from Pancho Sullivan, who has powered to five wins here at his home break of Sunset Beach, but won\\u2019t go home happy until he can put a Vans World Cup on his mantle piece. This is the one win that has eluded him for more than a decade. \\u201c\\u2018I absolutely love this wave it\\u2019s got so many looks \\u2013 from 2 feet to 15 feet it\\u2019s so much fun,\\u201d said Sullivan. \\u201d It\\u2019s a high performance wave. You can really push your surfing and I try to attack it like you would a small wave even in the bigger 8-10 foot surf. It\\u2019s home, I grew up, started surfing the little inside wave shores and eventually graduated out to the point and it\\u2019s a wave that I think you just have to put a lot of time into learning the different lineups depending on the direction and size.\\u201d&lt;\\/p&gt;\\n&lt;p&gt;When competition resumes it will be with the Round of 96. Today\\u2019s swell is definitely on the decline and it may be a day or two before the event moves ahead. When it does, the talent will include Tanner &amp;amp; Dane Gudauskas (USA); Jamie O\\u2019Brien (HAW); Gabe Kling (USA); Jack Freestone (AUS); Mark Occhilupo (AUS); Nat Young (USA); and Joan Duru (FRA).
